Kepler 11 Star System is one of many planetary star systems discovered in recent Kepler Space mission announcements. What is so fascinating about this particular star system is that there are 5 smaller planets is their orbits, they all orbit their parent stars quite close most are inside mercury's orbit or wit in 50 million kilometers from their parents stars.

NASA also announced discovery of 54 earth like planets that are in habitable zone around their stars.

  • Sorry, mate, incorrect description: "first Earth-sized planet candidates in the habitable zone" All of those 6 planets aren't located in this zone. Closest planet - 0,09 a.u. from parent star and the most distant - only 0.46 a.u. from star (this is shown in your own clip, btw). So....

  • nice vid.
